Now, nearly seven months after we first saw the “Troubled Times” lyric video, the song has a mysterious new music video. It appeared on Vimeo under the username Rev Rad, and at first glance it looks fan-made. However, the footage of frontman Billie Joe Armstrong lip-synching the entire song seemingly into his own phone camera had never been seen before. Surrounding Billie we see footage of various crises that have made the news, ranging from President Trump’s endless blunders to the cruelty of bull-fighting.

Though the video appeared online mysteriously, Green Day shared the link on their official Facebook page. It is not on their YouTube channel. Is this an official video? Did Billie Joe make the video himself? Green Day has provided no answers yet to the questions fans have. We can only assume the video came from them in some way.

Watch the video for “Troubled Times” below:

Green Day released their most recent album, Revolution Radio, last October. So far it has launched three official singles, including “Bang Bang,”“Still Breathing,” and the title track. Last month, Billie Joe revealed that the band will film a music video for “Forever Now” soon. They’ll work with Sam Bayer, the director behind their American Idiot singles.
